Despite stiff opposition from citizens opposed to homosexuality Maine Public Broadcasting Network announced Monday that it would show the episode of the children's series "Postcards from Buster" that features a child with lesbian parents.

PBS dropped plans to distribute the half-hour episode of "Buster" nationwide following objections from U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings. Instead, individual stations will decide whether to broadcast the episode.

About 25 members of the public spoke at a meeting Saturday of MPBN´s Community Advisory Board that featured colliding views about same-sex marriage, the role of public broadcasting and what constitutes appropriate material for children's television. (story)
